The FBI Is Disbanding One of Its Public Corruption Squads in Its Washington Office, AP Sources Say

  • The FBI disbanded a Washington-based public corruption squad that investigated fraud involving Congress and federal officials on Thursday.
  • This move was part of a larger restructuring within the FBI’s Washington field office amid the Trump administration’s changes to how public corruption cases are handled.
  • The squad had handled major cases, including investigations into efforts by Trump allies to overturn the 2020 election results, but the FBI will continue corruption probes.
  • In February, Justice Department officials halted criminal proceedings related to bribery of foreign officials and dropped charges connected to allegations against New York’s Mayor Eric Adams.
  • The squad's disbanding aligns with the FBI under Director Kash Patel shifting focus toward illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and violent crime, reflecting new enforcement priorities.
